From this weekend’s open house at the bonebed. My line drawings were implemented for our portable Dino tooth museum! Also fossil snail. 🦕🦴

Newest #watercolor is Gonshuilong! Colors loosely inspired by the Sailfin Dragon (lizard) which I used to work with when I was a zookeeper. #paleoart 🦕🎨

I actually painted the Muttaburrasaurus too. With the new long narrow snout and front teeth plus the short arms I can’t not think this dinosaur looks like a big Thescelosaurus relative. #paleoart

In light of the new Muttaburrasaurus paper. This is all I can see basically. And now you can’t unsee it either.

Agreed. I remember someone brought a roadkill fox into the biology lab back at Rutgers when I was undergrad and we totally looked at the baculum. It was really interesting for a bunch of animal nerds. There’s plenty of actually bad things to criticize this guy for.

Diamantinasaurus: Beast of the Week This week we'll be learning about a beast that greatly helps us understand how sauropod dinosaurs ("long-necks") looked and lived.  Check ou...

I keep forgetting to share new Beast of the Week posts. Here’s Diamantinasaurus with better scan quality than what I posted a few days ago and added hand claw! 🦕🇦🇺

So much money be thrown at the worthless vacuum that is A.I.

So little money be thrown at the more worthy goal of figuring out how to give us the abilities of Animorphs

The Lizard in the River — Riley Black A large tooth indicates that big mosasaurs, over 30 feet in length, swam the same rivers where dinosaurs like T. rex and Triceratops drank.

We used to call mosasaurs "marine reptiles." Then we found out that many of the giant lizards swam through rivers, too.

Last week's article, on a mosasaur that swam where T. rex drank, is up on my blog.

In light of trying to lighten moving costs (finally bought a house) I am once again offering originals for sale. Prices vary with the painting. Pretty much everything I have is available. Please dm if interested. 🎨 #paleoart

The Lizard in the River A large tooth indicates that some of the largest lizards of all time slid through rivers in the land of T. rex and Edmontosaurus.

Mosasaurs as long as an adult T. rex swam through Cretaceous rivers. The lizards weren't there by accident or aberration. They lived there.

My latest newsletter's out now!

Last week at the College Park Aviation Museum talking about wings in the fossil record. My daughter was a great helper! 🦖🪽

it’s a given pleaiosaurs, pterosaurs, and Dimetrodon are gonna be in any “dinosaur” toy product mix.

My daughter’s first comment was “where’s the longneck?” and that’s totally valid. Also “protoavis” is there lol. Also rhino triceratops.

L: Do you like Diplodocus? It has a long tail!

DO: TREX STOMP RAAAAR!!!

Two salamander species on my walk today. Northern Two-lined and Eastern Redback. Both lungless.

What did I miss?

My daughter got a GRIFFIN in her Wendy’s kids meal. IT WAS MEANT TO BE!!!

Wonder if anyone who worked on Netflix The Dinosaurs has seen my art from 2013? That “cheeky psittacosaurus” was featured in “All Your Yesterdays” downloadable book.

The fact that she’s essentially a dinosaur with boobs is the only thing that is weird/unpopular about her and I get it.

My actual favorite.

Newest watercolor is Yi, the weird (even by dinosaur standards)bat-winged feathered baby-dragon-lookin theropod. I sketched this pose with a red marker on a scrap of lined paper like 10 years ago and finally decided to paint it this week.

Forgot to share this from Saturday in the paleo lab. Finished prepping this rib chunk from what is likely a nodosaur. (Don’t sleep on Maryland dinosaurs)

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13 provided several verifiable details about her life in interviews with the FBI, according to a new report. The woman detailed ...

You have seen what the man has done as a businessman, as a celebrity, and as a president.

Do you have any doubt at all that he would rape a 13 year-old?

Newest watercolor is the iconic long-necked Elasmosaurus. 🎨#paleoart
